THE CREDITS

Section 2.01 The Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Tranche A Lender agrees to make Tranche A Loans and each Tranche B Lender agrees to make Tranche B Loans to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (a) such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Commitment, (b) the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the total Commitments, (c) any Tranche A Lender’s Revolving Tranche A Credit

Exposure exceeding such Tranche A Lender’s Tranche A Commitment, (d) the total Revolving Tranche A Credit Exposures exceeding the total Tranche A Commitments, (e) any Tranche B Lender’s Revolving Tranche B Credit Exposure exceeding such Tranche B Lender’s Tranche B Commitment, or (f) the total Revolving Tranche B Credit Exposures exceeding the total Tranche B Commitments. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay and re-borrow Loans.

Section 2.02 Loans and Borrowings.

(a) Obligations of Lenders. Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments, in each case, with the effect that the Tranche A Loans and Tranche B Loans shall constitute each Borrowing in a ratio of 2:1. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

(b) Type of Loans. Subject to Section 2.12, each Borrowing shall be constituted entirely of ABR Loans or of LIBO Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option may make any LIBO Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Minimum Amounts: Limitation on Number of Borrowings. Each Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or a larger multiple thereof of $1,000,000; provided that an ABR Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Commitments. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of fifteen (15) LIBO Borrowings outstanding.

(d) Limitations on Interest Periods. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request (or to elect to convert to or continue as a LIBO Borrowing) any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested therefor would end after the Commitment Termination Date.

Section 2.03 Requests for Borrowings.

(a) Notice by the Borrower. To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone of a Borrowing Request (i) in the case of a LIBO Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (ii) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one (1) Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request as set forth in either Exhibit ▇-▇ or Exhibit B-2 and signed by the Borrower.

(b) Content of Borrowing Requests. Each telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:


	(i) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;

	(ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

	(iii) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a LIBO Borrowing;

	(iv) in the case of a LIBO Borrowing, the Interest Period therefor, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period” and permitted under Section 2.02(d); and

	(v) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.05.

(c) Notice by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

(d) Failure to Elect. If no election as to the Type of a Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested LIBO Borrowing, then the requested Borrowing shall be made instead as an ABR Borrowing.

Section 2.04 [Reserved]

Section 2.05 Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Funding by Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request.

(b) Presumption by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of

payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the applicable Borrowing. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent has no obligation to make any Loan funds available to the Borrower unless the Administrative Agent has received such funds from the Lenders in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 2.06 Interest Elections.

(a) Elections by the Borrower for Borrowings. The Loans constituting each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a LIBO Borrowing, shall have the Interest Period specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a Borrowing of a different Type or to continue such Borrowing as a Borrowing of the same Type and, in the case of a LIBO Borrowing, may elect the Interest Period therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans constituting such Borrowing, and the Loans constituting each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b) Notice of Elections. To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request and signed by the Borrower.

(c) Content of Interest Election Requests. Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:


	(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) of this paragraph shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

	(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

	(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a LIBO Borrowing; and

	(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a LIBO Borrowing, the Interest Period therefor after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period” and permitted under Section 2.02(d).

(d) Notice by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders. Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) Failure to Elect; Events of Default. If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely and complete Interest Election Request with respect to a LIBO Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to a LIBO Borrowing with an Interest Period of one (1) month; provided, however, if the Commitment Termination Date shall occur within one (1) month after the end of any such Interest Period, such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a LIBO Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each LIBO Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period therefor.

Section 2.07 Termination and Reduction of the Commitments.

(a) Scheduled Termination. Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Commitment Termination Date.

(b) Voluntary Termination or Reduction. The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments pursuant to this Section shall be in an amount that is $10,000,000 or a larger multiple thereof of $1,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.09 or otherwise, the total Revolving Credit Exposures of all Lenders would exceed the total Commitments of all Lenders in effect after giving effect to such termination or reduction.

(c) Notice of Voluntary Termination or Reduction. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

(d) Effect of Termination or Reduction. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments with the effect that the Tranche A Commitments and the Tranche B Commitments shall be reduced in a ratio of 2:1.

Section 2.08 Repayment of Loans: Evidence of Debt.

(a) Repayment. The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for account of the Lenders the outstanding principal amount of the Loans on the Commitment Termination Date.

(b) Manner of Payment. Upon repayment of any Borrowings hereunder, unless the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be paid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of such selection not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the scheduled date of such repayment (it being agreed by the parties hereto that each repayment of Borrowings, irrespective of which Borrowing(s) the Borrower so selects to repay, shall be applied to repay any outstanding ABR Borrowings before any other Borrowings), such repayment shall be applied, first, to pay any outstanding ABR Borrowings and, second, to other Borrowings in the order of the remaining duration of their respective Interest Periods (the Borrowing with the shortest remaining Interest Period to be repaid first). Each payment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in such Borrowing.

(c) Maintenance of Records by Lenders. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice records evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from tune to time hereunder.

(d) Maintenance of Records by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall maintain records in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and each Interest Period therefor, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(e) Effect of Entries. The entries made in the records maintained pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such records or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(f) Promissory Notes. Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a Note. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns). Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more Notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if such Note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

Section 2.09 Prepayment of Loans.

(a) Optional Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of this Agreement including Section 2.14.

(b) Mandatory Prepayment; Revolving Credit Exposures in Excess of Commitments. The Borrower shall prepay the Loans as follows: if on any Business Day for any reason the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures of the Lenders exceed the total Commitments of all the Lenders, the Borrower shall immediately prepay an aggregate principal amount of the Loans in an amount equal to the amount by which (A) the Revolving Credit Exposures exceed (B) the Commitments on such Business Day.

(c) Notices, Etc. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a LIBO Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one (1) Business Day before the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.07(c), then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.07(c). Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.11 and shall be made in the manner specified in Section 2.08(b).

Section 2.10 Fees.

(a) Facility Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of each Tranche A Lender a facility fee (the “Tranche A Facility Fee”), which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the “Tranche A Facility Fee” for the pricing level in effect pursuant to the definition of “Applicable Margin” on the average daily amount of the Tranche A Commitment (whether used or unused) of such Tranche A Lender during the period from and including the date hereof to but excluding the earlier of the date such Commitments terminate and the Commitment Termination Date, and (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of each Tranche B Lender a facility fee (the “Tranche B Facility Fee” and together with the Tranche A Facility Fee, the “Facility Fees”), which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the “Tranche B Facility Fee” for the pricing level in effect pursuant to the definition of “Applicable Margin” on the average daily amount of the Tranche B Commitment (whether used or unused) of such Tranche B Lender during the period from and including the date hereof to but excluding the earlier of the date such Commitments terminate and the Commitment Termination

Date. Accrued Facility Fees shall be payable in arrears on each Quarterly Date and on the earlier of the date such Tranche A Commitments or Tranche B Commitments terminate, as applicable, and the Commitment Termination Date, commencing upon the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All Facility Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(b) Administrative Agent Fees. As separately agreed upon by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, solely for its own account, a certain fee per annum through the Commitment Termination Date (the “Administrative Agent Fee”). The Administrative Agent Fee shall be payable in advance to the Administrative Agent on the Effective Date and on each anniversary date thereof. The Administrative Agent Fee is nonrefundable and shall not be prorated for part of a year and shall be deemed to be earned in full as of the first day of each annual pay period therefor. The Administrative Agent Fee shall not be reduced in the event that Loans are prepaid or the amount of the Commitment is reduced.

(c) Payment of Fees. All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, in the case of Facility Fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

Section 2.11 Interest.

(a) ABR Loans. The Tranche A Loans and Tranche B Loans constituting each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate.

(b) LIBO Loans. The Tranche A Loans constituting each LIBO Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin then in effect for Tranche A Loans. The Tranche B Loans constituting a part of each LIBO Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin in effect for the Tranche B Loans.

(c) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, and (ii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default all principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder shall bear interest, in each case, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided above or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section,

(d) Payment of Interest. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the Commitment Termination Date), accrued interest on the principal

amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any LIBO Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Borrowing shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e) Computation. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 2.12 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of the Interest Period for any LIBO Borrowing:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their respective Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or the continuation of any Borrowing as, a LIBO Borrowing shall be ineffective and such Borrowing (unless prepaid) shall be continued as, or converted to, an ABR Borrowing and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a LIBO Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

Section 2.13 Increased Costs: Illegality.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:


	(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or

	(ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or LIBO Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining any LIBO Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal,

interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates from Lenders. A certificate of a Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(e) Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if a Change in Law shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder to make LIBO Loans or to continue to fund or maintain LIBO Loans hereunder, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) each LIBO Loan will automatically, upon such demand, convert into an ABR Loan and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to convert Loans into, LIBO Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that such Lender has determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

Section 2.14 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any LIBO Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any LIBO Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor (including pursuant to Section 2.13(e)(i)), (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any LIBO Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice is permitted to be revocable under Section 2.09(c) and is revoked in accordance herewith), or (d) the assignment as a result of a request by the Borrower

pursuant to Section 2.17(b) of any LIBO Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event.

In the case of a LIBO Loan, the loss to any Lender attributable to any such event shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that such Lender would pay for a deposit equal to the principal amount of such Loan for the period from the date of such payment, conversion, failure or assignment to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the duration of the Interest Period that would have resulted from such borrowing, conversion or continuation) if the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period, over (ii) the amount of interest that such Lender would earn on such principal amount for such period if such Lender were to invest such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an affiliate of such Lender) for Dollar deposits from other banks in the eurodollar market at the commencement of such period.

A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.15 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or the Lenders (as the case may be) receive an amount equal to the sum they would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) Payment of Taxes by the Borrower. In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Indemnified Taxes and any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by

a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Foreign Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

Section 2.16 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

(a) Payments by the Borrower. The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees, or under Section 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.03 and ARTICLE VIII or otherwise) or under any other Loan Document (except to the extent otherwise provided therein) prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent in such manner and place as shall from time to time be specified by the Administrative Agent, except as otherwise expressly provided in the relevant Loan Document and payments pursuant to Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.03 and ARTICLE VIII, which shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document (except to the extent otherwise provided therein) shall be made in Dollars.

(b) Application of Insufficient Payments. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest, fees and other amounts then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay interest, fees and other amounts then due hereunder (except those covered by clause (ii) below of this Section 2.16(b)), ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, to pay principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

(c) Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) each Borrowing shall be made from the Lenders, each payment of Facility Fees under Section 2.10

shall be made for account of the Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments under Section 2.07 shall be applied to the respective Commitments of the Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments; (ii) each Borrowing shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Commitments (in the case of the making of Loans) or their respective Loans that are to be included in such Borrowing (in the case of conversions and continuations of Loans); (iii) each payment or prepayment of principal of Loans by the Borrower shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans held by them; and (iv) each payment of interest on Loans by the Borrower shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders.

(d) Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or any fee payable pursuant to Section 2.10(a) resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon and any fee payable pursuant to Section 2.10 (a) then due than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(e) Presumptions of Payment. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

(f) Certain Deductions by the Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05 or 2.16(e), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply

any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Section 2.17 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.15, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to a consenting assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be an Eligible Assignee or another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) on or prior to the date of such replacement, and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.13 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 8.02 Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to

and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

Section 8.03 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders, and (c) except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or all Lenders where unanimity is required or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 8.04 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in ARTICLE IV or elsewhere herein or therein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

Section 8.05 Reliance by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 8.06 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.

any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

Section 8.07 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders with the consent of the Borrower (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall have the right to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless become effective and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and (2) the Required Lenders shall perform the duties of the Administrative Agent (and all payments and communications provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly) until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

Section 8.08 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Section 8.09 Loan Document Amendments. Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02(b) with respect to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent may, with the prior consent of the Required Lenders (but not otherwise), consent to any amendment modification or waiver under any of the Loan Documents.

Section 8.10 Indemnification.

(a) Each Lender severally agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower) from and against such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on,

incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) payable by the Borrower under Section 9.03, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrower. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this ARTICLE VIII applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person.

(b) The failure of any Lender to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid by the Lenders to the Administrative Agent as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to reimburse the Administrative Agent for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to reimburse the Administrative Agent for such other Lender’s ratable share of such amount. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Lender hereunder, the agreement and obligations of each Lender contained in this ARTICLE VIII shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 9.01 Notices.

(a) Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone, all notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by facsimile, as follows:


	(i) if to the Borrower, to it at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention of Chief Financial Officer;

	(ii) if to the Administrative Agent, to National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corporation, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention of Loan Syndication, (Facsimile No. (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇; Telephone No. (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇);

	(iii) if to a Lender, to it at its address (or facsimile number) set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire.

Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be

deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient). Notices delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in paragraph (b) below, shall be effective as provided in said paragraph (b).

(b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to ARTICLE II if such Lender has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving or it is against its internal policies to receive notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address as permitted hereby shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website as permitted hereby shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

(c) Changes to Notice Information. Any party hereto may change its address or facsimile number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto (or, in the case of any such change by a Lender, by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent).

Section 9.02 Waivers; Amendments.

(a) No Deemed Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Amendments. No provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall:


	(i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender;

	(ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby;

	(iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or any interest thereon, or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment or postpone the Commitment Termination Date without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby;

	(iv) change Section 2.16(d) without the consent of each Lender affected thereby; or

	(v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the percentage in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender;

	(vi) release any guarantor from its obligations of any guarantee of the Indebtedness hereunder without the written consent of each Lender; and

provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. In addition, whenever a waiver, amendment or modification requires the consent of a Lender “adversely affected” thereby, such wavier, amendment or modification shall, upon consent of such Lender, be effective as to such Lender whether or not it becomes effective as to any other Lender, so long as the Required Lenders consent to such waiver, amendment or modification as provided above.

For purposes of this Section, the “scheduled date of payment” of any amount shall refer to the date of payment of such amount specified in this Agreement, and shall not refer to a date or other event specified for the mandatory or optional prepayment of such amount.

Section 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for CFC, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement

and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, or any Lender (or, if no Default then exists or is continuing, one special counsel and one local counsel for all of the Lenders), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made, including in connection with any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect thereof and (iii) all fees as the Borrower shall have agreed to pay to any Lender or the Administrative Agent or the Lead Arranger in connection herewith, which are, or are to become, due after the date of this Agreement, including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger, in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including the preparation and distribution of “closing documents and binders”) and the extensions of credit hereunder.

(b) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for such Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing (whether brought by any third party or by the Borrower), whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. No Indemnitee referred to in this Section 9.03(b) shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such.

(d) Waiver by the Borrower of Indirect or Consequential Damages. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim

against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for indirect or consequential damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, or in connection with, or as a result of the Transactions.

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

Section 9.04 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Assignments Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Lenders.

(i) Assignments Generally. Subject to the conditions set forth in clause (ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more other Lenders or Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:


	(A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund, or, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; and

	(B) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to a then existing Lender; and


	(ii) Certain Conditions to Assignments. Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the applicable Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $10,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent


	otherwise consent; provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

	(B) each partial assignment of any Commitments and Loans shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of such Commitments and Loans;

	(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (for which the Borrower shall not be obligated and provided that only one such fee shall be payable in the event of simultaneous assignments to or from one or more affiliated Approved Funds); and

	(D) the assignee, if it shall not already be a Lender, shall be an Eligible Assignee and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(iii) Effectiveness of Assignments. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.03 and ARTICLE VIII). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section.

(c) Maintenance of Register by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in Herndon, Virginia a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Acceptance of Assignments by Administrative Agent. Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the

assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section, any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section and any other document reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(e) Participations. Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitments and Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (f) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.16(d) as though it were a Lender hereunder.

(f) Limitations on Rights of Participants. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.13, 2.14 or 2.15 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.15(e) as though it were a Lender and in the case of a Participant claiming exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, the applicable Lender shall provide the Borrower with satisfactory evidence that the participation is in registered form and shall permit the Borrower to review the Register as reasonably needed for the Borrower to comply with its obligations under applicable laws and regulations.

(g) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any such pledge or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or

assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(h) No Assignments to the Borrower or Affiliates. Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in any Loan held by it hereunder to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates without the prior consent of each Lender.

Section 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.03 and ARTICLE VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof

Section 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract between and among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 9.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of

whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

Section 9.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

(b) Submission to Jurisdiction. The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) Waiver of Venue. The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Service of Process. The Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints CT Corporation System, with offices as of the date of this Agreement at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, as its authorized agent for service of process in relation to any action, suit or proceeding before any courts located in the State of New York in connection with this Agreement and all other Loan Documents, and the Borrower agrees that service of process in respect of it to CT Corporation System shall be effective service of process upon it in such action, suit or proceeding. The Borrower further agrees that any failure of CT Corporation System to give notice to the Borrower of any such service shall not impair or affect the validity of such service of any judgment rendered in any such action, suit or proceeding. Each other party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

Section 9.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT

OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

Section 9.11 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

Section 9.12 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.

(a) Treatment of Certain Information. The Borrower acknowledges that from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and other services may be offered or provided to the Borrower (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by any Lender or by one or more subsidiaries or affiliates of such Lender and the Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender to share any information delivered to such Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection with the decision of such Lender to enter into this Agreement, to any such subsidiary or affiliate, it being understood that any such subsidiary or affiliate receiving such information shall be bound by the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section as if it were a Lender hereunder. Such authorization shall survive the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

(b) Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this paragraph, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this paragraph or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower.

For purposes of this paragraph, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or any of its businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower, provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Each Lender subject to the Patriot Act hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

$20,000,000.00	October 10, ▇▇▇▇
	▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, CHUGACH ELECTRIC ASSOCIATION, INC., a corporation incorporated and existing under the laws of the State of Alaska (the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to US BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (the “Lender”), at such office of the Administrative Agent (as defined in the Credit Agreement referred to below) as shall be notified to the Borrower from time to time, the principal sum of TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS (or such lesser amount as shall equal the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans made by the Lender to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement, as defined below), in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, on the dates and in the principal amounts provided in the Credit Agreement, and to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each such Loan, at such office, in like money and funds, for the period commencing on the date of such Loan until such Loan shall be paid in full, at the rates per annum and on the dates provided in the Credit Agreement.

The date, amount, Type, interest rate and duration of Interest Period (if applicable) of each Loan made by the Lender to the Borrower, and each payment made on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on its books, which shall be conclusive evidence of the foregoing information, absent manifest error. Failure of the Administrative Agent to make any such recordation shall not affect any of the obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement, hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

This Note evidences the obligation of the undersigned to repay all Loans advanced by the Lender from time to time under that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of October 10, 2008 (as amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Borrower, the Lenders party thereto, National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corporation, as Administrative Agent and as Syndication Agent, and National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corporation and KeyBank National Association as Joint Lead Arrangers. Terms used but not defined in this Note have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement provides, among other things, for the acceleration of the maturity of this Note upon the occurrence of certain events and for prepayments of Loans upon the terms and conditions specified therein. Reference is made to the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents for a statement of certain additional rights and obligations of the undersigned.

No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Note (including, without limitation, the right to declare this Note due and payable) shall operate as a waiver of such right, power or remedy nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or remedy or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

If any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Note or the application of any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Note to any party or circumstance shall be found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be, to any extent, invalid or unenforceable, then the remainder of this Note and the application of such term, provision, covenant, or condition to parties or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term, provision, covenant or condition of this Note shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Form of Solvency Certificate

CHUGACH ELECTRIC ASSOCIATION, INC.

I, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇, am the Chief Executive Officer of Chugach Electric Association, Inc., a corporation incorporated and existing under the laws of the State of Alaska (the “Company”) and I, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, am the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, and hereby certify on behalf of the Company that we are duly authorized to execute this Solvency Certificate, which is hereby delivered on behalf of the Company pursuant to Section 4.01(b)(vii) of the Credit Agreement, dated as of October 10, 2008 (as amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Lenders party thereto, National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corporation, as Administrative Agent and as Syndication Agent, and National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corporation and KeyBank National Association as Joint Lead Arrangers (collectively with the Lenders, the “Loan Parties”) and the Company, as the Borrower. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

We are generally familiar with the properties, businesses and assets of the Company, and we have reviewed, on behalf of the Company, the Loan Documents and the contents of this Solvency Certificate and, in connection herewith, have reviewed such other documentation and information and have made such investigation and inquiries as necessary and prudent therefor. We further certify, on behalf of the Company, that the financial information and assumptions that underlie and form the basis for the representations made in this Solvency Certificate were reasonable when made and were made in good faith and continue to be reasonable as of the date hereof.

The Company understands that the Loan Parties are relying on the truth and accuracy of this Solvency Certificate in connection with the Transactions.

The Company hereby further certifies that:

1. The Company has reviewed the projected income statements and cash flow statements delivered to the Loan Parties pursuant to Section 4.01(b)(viii) of the Credit Agreement, which were prepared in good faith on the basis of assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time. On the date hereof, after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions:


	(i) The fair market value of the total assets of the Company is greater than the total amount of the liabilities, including contingent liabilities, of the Company;

	(ii) After giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions, the present fair saleable value of the assets of the Company is not less than the

E-l


	amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of the Company on its debts as they become absolute and matured;

	(iii) The Company does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts or liabilities beyond its ability to pay such debts and liabilities as they mature; and

	(iv) On the date hereof, after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions, the Company is not engaged in business or in a transaction, or is about to engage in business or in a transaction, for which its property would constitute unreasonably small capital.

2. In reaching the conclusions set forth in this Solvency Certificate, the Company has considered, among other things:


	(i) the cash and other current assets of the Company reflected in the unaudited pro forma balance sheet dated as of August 31, 2008;

	(ii) all of the unliquidated and contingent liabilities of the Company, including, without limitation, any claims arising out of pending or, to the best knowledge of the undersigned, threatened litigation against the Company or any of its property and assets and, in so doing, the Company has computed the amount of each such unliquidated or contingent liability as the amount that, in light of all of the facts and circumstances existing on the date of this Solvency Certificate, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability of the Company;

	(iii) all of the obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether matured or unmatured, liquidated or unliquidated, disputed or undisputed, secured or unsecured, subordinated, absolute, fixed or contingent, including, without limitation, any claims arising out of pending or, to the best knowledge of the undersigned, threatened litigation against the Company or any of its respective property and assets and, in so doing, the Company has computed the amount of each such obligation and liability as the amount that, in light of all of the facts and circumstances existing on the date of this Solvency Certificate, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability of the Company;

	(iv) historical and anticipated growth in the sales volume of the Company and in the income stream generated by the Company as reflected in, among other things, the cash flow statements;

	(v) the customary sales terms and the trade payables and other accounts payable of the Company;

	(vi) the amount of the credit extended by and to Members and other customers of the Company;

	(vii) the anticipated interest payable on the indebtedness and other mandatory payments under the Credit Agreement; and

	(viii) the level of capital customarily maintained by the Company.

Exhibit F

Form of Legal Opinion of Borrower’s Counsel

October 10, 2008

National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corporation,
as Administrative Agent and to each of the Lenders party to the Credit Agreement referred to below

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am the General Counsel of Chugach Electric Association, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Alaska (the “Borrower”), in connection with the Credit Agreement, dated as of October 10, 2008 (the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, the Lenders party thereto, and National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corporation, as the Administrative Agent. Terms used but not defined in this opinion have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.

This opinion is being delivered to you pursuant to Section 4.01(x) of the Credit Agreement.

I have assumed the authenticity of all records, documents and instruments submitted to us as originals, the genuineness of all signatures (except those of, or on behalf of, the Borrower), the legal capacity of natural persons and the conformity to the originals of all records, documents and instruments submitted to us as copies. I have based my opinion upon my review of the following records, documents, instruments and certificates, such additional certificates relating to factual matters and such other documents as I have deemed necessary or appropriate for my opinion:

(i) the Credit Agreement;

(ii) the Notes being issued on the date hereof (the “Subject Notes” and together with the Credit Agreement, the “Relevant Documents”);

(iii) the articles of incorporation of the Borrower, certified by the Alaska Department of Commerce and Economic Development as of October 6, 2008;

(iv) the Bylaws of the Borrower;

(v) the records of proceedings and actions of the board of directors and Members of the Borrower relating to the transactions contemplated by the Relevant Documents;

(vi) a Certificate of Good Standing relating to the Borrower issued by the Commissioner of the Alaska Department of Commerce and Economic Development, dated October 9, 2008;

(vii) A certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of the Borrower as to the material agreements and material instruments to which the Borrower is a party or by which the Borrower’s properties or assets are bound (the “Certificate Relating to Agreements”); and

(viii) Each of the agreements and instruments identified in the Certificate Relating to Agreements.

In connection with my opinion expressed in Paragraph 6(iii) of Part III, I have not reviewed, and express no opinion on, (a) financial covenants or similar provisions requiring financial calculations or determinations to ascertain compliance, or (b) provisions relating to the occurrence of a “material adverse event” or words of similar import. Moreover, to the extent that any of the agreements and instruments identified in the Certificate Relating to Agreements is governed by the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Alaska, my opinion relating to those agreements and instruments is based solely upon the plain meaning of their language without regard to interpretation or construction that might be indicated by the laws governing those agreements and instruments.

Where my opinion relates to my “knowledge,” that knowledge is based upon my examination of the records, documents, instruments and certificates enumerated or described above and my actual knowledge. I have not examined any records of any court, administrative tribunal or other similar entity in connection with my opinion.

II.

I express no opinion as to any securities, tax, anti-trust, land use, safety or hazardous materials laws, rules and regulations or laws, rules or regulations applicable to the Administrative Agent or Lenders by virtue of their status as a financial institutions engaged in business of the type exemplified by the Credit Agreement.

This opinion is limited to the laws of the State of Alaska, and 1 disclaim any opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction.

III.

Based upon the foregoing and my examination of such questions of law as I have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purpose of my opinion, and subject to the limitations and qualifications expressed below, it is my opinion that:


	1.	The Borrower has been duly incorporated and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Alaska.

	2.	The Borrower has all requisite corporate power and corporate authority to enter into and perform the Relevant Documents, to own its properties and to carry on its business as it is now conducted.

October 10, 2008
Page 3 of 4


	3.	The Relevant Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action (including action by the Borrower’s Members, if necessary) on the part of the Borrower and have been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Borrower.

	4.	Each of the Relevant Documents is a valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms, subject, as to enforcement, (i) to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and (ii) to general principles of equity, whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

	5.	No governmental consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations, declarations or filings are required for the execution and delivery of the Relevant Documents on behalf of the Borrower or repayment of the Loans, except such as have been obtained or made. No approval of the Regulatory Commission of Alaska or any other Governmental Authority is required for the use of any Credit Extension (including the first Credit Extension).

	6.	Neither the execution and delivery of the Relevant Documents on behalf of the Borrower nor the performance by the Borrower of the Relevant Documents (i) conflicts with any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Borrower, (ii) violates or breaches any law, rule or regulation, or any writ, judgment injunction decree or award, or any order of any Governmental Authority applicable to the Borrower, or (iii) violates or results in a breach or default under the Indenture, any of the Wholesale Power Contracts or Fuel Supply Agreements or any other agreement or instrument identified in the Certificate Relating to Agreements, gives rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Borrower, or results in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Borrower thereunder.

	7.	There is no action, suit or proceeding against the Borrower that is either pending or that, to my knowledge, has been threatened in writing and that (i) involves any of the Loan Documents or the Transactions, or (ii) if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

IV.

	I further advise you that:

	A.	As noted, the enforceability of the Relevant Documents is subject to the effect of general principles of equity. These principles include, without limitation, concepts of commercial reasonableness, materiality and good faith and fair dealing.

	B.	The enforceability of the Relevant Documents is subject to the effects of (i) Section 1-203 of the Alaska Uniform Commercial Code (the “UCC”), which imposes an obligation of good faith in the performance or enforcement of a contract, (ii) Section

October 10, 2008
Page 4 of 4


		1-102 of the UCC, which provides that obligations of good faith, diligence, reasonableness and care prescribed by the UCC may not be disclaimed by agreement, although the parties may by agreement determine the standards by which the performance of such obligations is to be measured if those standards are not manifestly unreasonable, and (iii) legal principles under which a court may refuse to enforce, or may limit the enforcement of, a contract or any clause of a contract that a court finds as a matter of law to have been unconscionable at the time it was made.

	C.	The effectiveness of indemnities, rights of contribution, exculpatory provisions and waivers of the benefits of statutory provisions may be limited on public policy grounds.


	D.	Provisions of the Relevant Documents requiring that waivers must be in writing may not be binding or enforceable if a non-executory oral agreement has been created modifying any such provision or an implied agreement by trade practice or course of conduct has given rise to a waiver.

This opinion is rendered to you in connection with the Relevant Documents and is for your benefit. This opinion may not be relied upon by any other person, firm, corporation or other entity (other than your successors and assigns as Lenders, the Administrative Agent and Persons that acquire participations in your Loans) without my prior written consent. I disclaim any obligation to advise you of any change of law that occurs, or any facts of which I become aware, after the date of this opinion.


	Very truly yours,

	▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, General Counsel
